From problem solving to delicious recipes to inspiring table settings, we've got you covered. We'll start by sharing the five items we are currently obsessed with — we can't live without them and neither should you: here's our November must haves.

We've been longtime fans of See's Candies but only recently were introduced to its Scotch kisses. These addictive treats have a caramel outside and soft, chewy marshmallow center.

Willie Bird Turkey

Each November, we pick up an organic, free-range turkey ($60-$150) from local farm Willie Bird. Since you only purchase a turkey once a year, it's worth the splurge to get this plump, succulent bird.

2009 Chateau de Raousset Morgon Douby Beaujolais

For many people, the third Thursday in November doesn't just mean Thanksgiving, it's also the annual release of Beaujolais Nouveau. But why wait to enjoy a lush, smooth red when you can sip a beautiful Beaujolais right now? Our favorite pick is the 100 percent Gamay bottling from Chateau de Raousset Morgon ($20).

Oval Gold Platter

If you're spending tons of time planning an extravagant dinner, don't overlook the serving ware! A turkey platter is a must for showcasing the moist meat. We love this oval-shaped gold platter ($141) from Lenox.
